And getting more aggressive about pedestrian safety!

Very little, apparently!

Yeah, those tend to get outsized attention. LTTEs don't adequately represent the community in the same way attendance at a government meeting fails as well. But elections do. I think Alexandria knew what it was voting for in Alyia Gaskins.

Love your work here, but also: the hair is spectacular!

The order is quite a mess, IMO. It takes an overly formalistic approach that seems to be wholly inconsistent with existing law. There's nothing progressive about using your privilege to elbow people out of our community.

Arlington, VA (as do other localities) has an affordable housing investment fund (loan funding) that is generally a tertiary funding source. LIHTC financing has made mixed income proposals scarce, although income mixing has helped diversify units so not all are 60% area median income. #ArlingtonVA

Here's an opportunity coming this Monday, 11/19. You can attend and make a public comment (if you'd like!) on a proposal to build affordable housing near Crystal City. #arlingtonva

In Arlington, VA, folks usually ask what the County is doing. We should! But what's our local legislative delegation doing too?!

And our state delegation to prioritizing making housing easier to build (single staircase bills!) over legislation that's clearly intended to just make it harder and more expensive (like Delegate Patrick Hope's historic preservation law that threatens to slow every new housing project).

Yay!!!

...and we always need new folks who are interested in a more inclusive Arlington to get involved! Having great leaders in our advisory groups has been integral to Arlington's successes. It's a wonderful way to contribute to our democracy.
